Garrett: You were quoted in the app.com as saying: "the building was determined to be an imminent hazard". What is the status of the Jersey Apartments on 2nd (between Kingsley & Bergh)? There are pieces falling into the front yard and sidewalk on a daily basis with Kids from the neighboring building playing under it, and a tree growing through the roof from the second floor. Are there any plans on leveling that as well?
